even if和even though的区别
even if与even though有区别:
even if一般引导的是把握不大或假设的事情,
even though引出的是事实。
如:Even if we achieve great success in our work, we should not be proud.
即使我们在工作中取得了巨大成绩,也不应该自满。
Even though he was late, he was not criticized by the teacher.
虽然他晚了, 可他并没有受到老师的批评。
Even though he knows it, he'll not let out the secret.
(他知道这个秘密).
Even if he knows it, he'll not let out the secret.
(不确定他是否知道这个秘密)。
though 常表示一些已经确定的消息,而if由它本身所带的“如果”的含义,表示了一种对假设信息的不确定。
even if 引导的从句是往往是假设性的,相当于汉语的“即使”“纵然”“就算”“哪怕”。
正因为even if从句的内容通常是假设性的,所以有时还可用于虚拟语气;这样用的even if 与单独使用的if比较接近。
这样用的even though与though或although的意思比较接近,许多时候可以互换(注意:英语可以说though和even though,但不能说even although)。
Even though [Thought, Although] I felt sorry for him, l was secretly pleased tha t he was having difficulties. 虽然我为他感到惋惜,但对他的困难却暗自高兴。
Even though [Thought, Although] we all tried our best, we lost the game. 虽然我们已尽了最大的力量,但还是输了。
